Razor: Rolls Razor Imperial 2 Brush: Simpsons Case Cream: OLD Progress Vulfix Sandalwood AS: Superior 70 Bayrum  What a nice way to end a day with an early morning shave. Wring knot. 2min. 6 pass. Rework 1-2 pass. Dry and thinned on 4th-wasn't enough lather for neck and reworked. As for Superior it's very much like Menthol counterpart sans the cooling effects. Boy that stings! Not too lasting but just right. OLD Progress Vulfix Sandalwood is as intoxicating as I remember and cream in jar hasn't dried to date. |

Razor: Rolls Razor Brush: Simpsons Case Cream: Prairie-Creation Sample 1 AS: McLas Bayrum  McLas stung but not as potent as Superior 70 or Benjamins. Still nice nonetheless and not overpowering. Wring 3x nearly dry. 1min 55. 2 pass. Rework 1st. Overdipped brush as such too much water less cream. Shed 1 on 3rd pass due to dryness as I was gliding the brush over face. To date 3. |

- Prep: Noxzema Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
- Brush: Ever Roddy 300 refurb with TGN Silvertip knot
- Cream: Floris Sandalwood
- Razor: 1912 GEM
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE Coated GEM (shave 6)
- Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
- A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & Nivea Extra Soothing ASB

- Result: BBS shave with a bit of effort. The blade seems to be going away a shave early. Just a hint of tug but with help of the oil pass all went well with any blood or irritation.

Schick Dial
Pella Blade (2)
Omega # 49 Boar Brush
Colgate Mug Soap
WH
Brut AS
Played with the dial settings all through the shave. The dial adjustments seem to be working fine. Shaves great, though the G-1 I had seemed more natural and balanced in my hand.
